Default Horn connector ?

Hi - I'm going to replace the standard horn "duo" (with PIAA'S) on my 02 Bug, I can see one connector coming off each of the sides of the stock horns - does anyone know if there's 1 or 2 wires going into the connector, not taken the grill off yet and from peering down it looks like 2 wires, into the one connector - could be my eyes need to find the live one ?

I am not 100% but I think its two, black and red. I think you can split the feed for PIAA's

There is one wire going to each horn which is the live. You need to wire in seperate earths if the PIAA horns need them. I've recently fitted Hella Supertones, but I think anything will be an improvement over the original.

There may be two in the connector for one of the horns as it splits the live across both horns, but I don't recall seeing that as I only used one feed as the switch on my relay.
